At Deloitte, we are similarly ambitious. I am confident that there is great opportunity, both for our firm and the business community in Galway. We believe that we have the skillset and breadth of capability, and the drive and ambition, to provide a valuable service to this community. We are very much looking forward to increasing our collaboration with the vast array of innovative and successful companies here to make a real impact for their businesses.”
